Summary

The QRP2001 is a multi-band HF receiver for the home constructor. In the near future we aim to expand it to full transceiver capability...but there's more work required to achieve that goal. The receiver consists primarily of a single board, to which you must add a suitable VFO. Three possible VFO options are presented here, and depending on which VFO option is selected, the feature list can include:

* General coverage from 100KHz - 30MHz
* Selectable bandwidths for SSB and CW
* About 70dB of AGC
* Excellent sensitivity (about 0.4uV for 10dB SINAD without pre-amp)
* Very high IP3 (no pre-selector filters normally needed)
* Full-featured microprocessor control
* Remote control from PC

Received audio quality is excellent, and we have included some samples to illustrate this.

The QRP2001 is not a beginner's project, and you won't build it in a single evening, but we think that it is worth the effort!

Site Philosophy

We have designed this site in a true QRP minimalist style and tried to make it very simple and to the point. As many of you will not be using the latest hardware we have avoided flashy graphics, bells and whistles and put content before form. It should work with all web browsers and be pretty quick to load even over slow links and on QRP computers. If you have any comments on the content or suggestions for improvements please email Alan, M0PUB.



Thank you for your interest, and keep on soldering!
